The City rezoned and annexed 67 acres of Town land for high-density residential use. There were no electors in the annexation area; the individual plaintiffs own 75 abutting acres and allege that the proposed land use (though not the annexation itself) will affect the value and use of their property.
When the legislature created the annexation statute of Wis. Stat. § 66.0233 it chose only to establish a town’s right to challenge an annexation ordinance, not to extend that same right to adjoining property owners.
Affirmed.
